Journal ArticleDOI

Spectroscopic Observations and Analysis of the Unusual Type Ia SN 1999ac

G. Garavini, +66 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present optical spectra of the peculiar Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 1999ac, which extends from -15 to +42 days with respect to B-band maximum and reveal an event that is unusual in several respects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three-dimensional Parameterization of the Stellar Locus with Application to QSO Color Selection

TL;DR: In this paper, a straightforward method for parameterizing and visualizing a locus of points in n-space is presented, which applies directly to the problem of distinguishing QSOs from Galactic stars in multicolor space.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mapping the Milky Way with LAMOST I: method and overview

TL;DR: In this paper, a statistical method was proposed to derive the stellar density profiles of the Milky Way from spectroscopic survey data, taking into account selection effects, and the method was validated using Galaxia mock data with two different selection functions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maximum Likelihood Fitting of Tidal Streams With Application to the Sagittarius Dwarf Tidal Tails

TL;DR: In this paper, a maximum likelihood method for determining the spatial properties of tidal debris and of the Galactic spheroid is presented, which can be applied to divide the stellar data into two catalogs: one which fits the stream density profile and one with the characteristics of the Spheroid.
